Scally Rally 2007 Calais to Rimini:

Dan, Daz and Pete are Team 19 in the 2007 Scally Rally. Scally Rally 2007 is a driving challenge across Europe, from Calais to Rimini, in 4 days (14th - 17th September), but there's a catch! All 100 teams entered in the rally must drive a car costing less than £100. We are taking part in aid of McMillan and Thames Hospice Care. All costs are covered by ourselves so any sponsorship money raised goes straight to charity ...

The Car

We have managed to trade 100 of our hard earned beer tokens for a 1989 Volvo 2.0l GL manual estate.

There were some interesting faults we'll outline a few below:

  • Green check markNo brake lights
  • Green check markBroken rear nearside light cluster
  • Red exclaimation markSmall chip in windscreen
  • Green check markCreaky doors
  • Red exclaimation markPossibly need a new exhaust
  • Red exclaimation markModified rear bumper
  • Green check markMain beam doesn't work
  • Red exclaimation markPaint work that looks like a gravel drive
  • Red exclaimation markBoot won't open from the outside (needs fixing again)

Green check mark: Fixed
Red exclaimation mark: Still a problem

Current State

We do have an MOT but not everything on the list has been fixed. We also haven't got the car signed up yet although there are some logos on the car.
